How To Make A Purchase

The bookstore in particular is dynamic, with books entering and leaving all of the time.

This is great for the charities we support who can never get enough income, but it’s less than wonderful for you, the customer, because it means you have to check if the book/s is/are available before you can make a purchase. 

There is, unfortunately, no way around this, as books sometimes sell from the site faster than the volunteers can update it.

Choose the book/s you are interested in , and note the authors name, book title and the code of the book. This comes directly after the title and might be P307, J16, S871 or similar.

As there may be more than one copy of the book, the code ensures you get the copy you expect.

Send these details and your name to us, either via Whatsapp 0833264491, or email info@retrorecords.co.za.

Replies are usually received within 24 hours, Mon – Fri, but always within 48 hours. (Please exclude Sundays in your calculations.)  

Banking details will be provided to you directly, once we have the book/s in hand.

As is customary, no products will be sent until full payment has been received and cleared by our bank.

How Your Purchase Will Be Sent

For everyone’s peace of mind, we do not send goods via the SA Post Office. There are several viable options, and we are at present using PAXI.

This is a courier service powered by PEP Stores, who have almost 3000 collection / drop-off points in South Africa.

Goods are handed over to our couriers on the Tuesday after your payment clears, and will be delivered to the PEP Store you allocate the next week.

If you are in a hurry, a faster service can be arranged but courier costs will be substantially higher. Please contact us for individual rates.

Courier and packaging costs are to the buyers account, and will be confirmed once we have your order in hand.

Paxi provide a courier bag and we add bubble-wrap and tape to secure and protect the books.

 

Delivery Costs

We drop off at PAXI on the Tuesday after your payment clears and you collect from the PEP Store you nominate in 7-9 working days.
